Certainly a fair number of us are aware that the people running our government are not the people who are really in control of political and economic matters, domestic and foreign. This has led many to seek the truth in the alternative press, those newsletter writers who, like me, have sought, but not always found what it is that is making the United States terminally ill. "Seek and ye shall find" has not always been the case with this group. What we did find was that the people walk...

A random scanning of floppy disk sleeves from contributed collections - scanned at 600dpi into TIFF by Vuescan, by Jason Scott. Further context: In the era of the 5.25" floppy disk (roughly 1975-1995), the disks had a window to the disc inside that exposed the magnetic media to open air. (A re-design of disks in 3.5" form factors added a spring-loaded "door" that would automatically close down and protect the media. To reduce exposure and damage to this fragile media, a...

It was early 1993 and id Software was at the top of the PC gaming industry. Wolfenstein 3D had established the First Person Shooter genre and sales of its sequel Spear of Destiny were skyrocketing. The technology and tools id had taken years to develop were no match for their many competitors. It would have been easy for id to coast on their success, but instead they made the audacious decision to throw away everything they had built and start from scratch.
